Up The Creek Music Festival

30.01.2012

The 4th of February is Bacardi Founders Day and to celebrate Bacardi have given us a ticket to this weekend’s Up The Creek festival in Swellendam. Along with that they’re throwing in a bottle of the good stuff. We’re making this one a quickie so get in the Bacardi spirit and post your Bacardi birthday wishes on our Facebook wall and you could be headed to Up The Creek this weekend with a bottle of Bacardi to celebrate.

You’ve got until 10am Tuesday to get your wishes in, the winner will be announced before midday on Tuesday.

Up the Creek Music Festival together with Bacardi, Breederiver, Swellendam: 2 – 5 February 2012.

Here we go, the time has come Creekers! One river, three stages, four days, loads of music and comedy and festival goers with a passion for some of South Africa’s best music in common – get ready for Up the Creek 2012 together with Bacardi!

In typical Up the Creek tradition we will be running live music on 3 stages throughout the weekend: The Bacardi Main Stage, the MK river stage and the all-night-long BOS Breede River bar stage.

From 2-5 February 2012, the usually quiet campsite close to Swellendam will once again be transformed into a slightly surreal spot of revelry, raging rock and soulful tunes, performances from another planet and shenanigans of the type that you can only pull off when you’re safely tucked in next to the mighty Breede River for four days. Yup – four. For R100 extra, die-hard Creekers can pull in on Thursday, 2 February for a chilled out preview gig at the bar stage. You can choose the best spot for your tent and kick-start the weekend’s carousing so that the place is cooking by the time the rest of your friends arrive. The main festival weekend is from Friday 3 to Sunday 5 February.

The 4th of February is Bacardi Founders Day, and Bacardi will be celebrating their 150th birthday at this years Up The Creek festival – so expect some surprises. Bacardi will be in full swing with the birthday spirit, helping you and your friends keep cool by the river and refreshed throughout the evening.
